SEPTEMBER NEWS 

WOVEN THREADS UPDATE

 

We have been working hard in the Woven Threads studios with Filmotion to produce the first three episodes of Stories from Within, our mental health series. They will launch in Mental Health Week this coming October. 

 

We have already started receiving some international recognition with our first Olive episode accepted into the Chicago International Children's Film Festival and two Impact DOCS Awards of Merit. These stories have been created to increase awareness and contribute to suicide prevention and this festival has a particular focus on education, so we are thrilled.

"STORIES FROM WITHIN" UPDATE

Work on production has been intense and we are close to finalising Episode 2 which tells the story of Pete who faced with the tough realities of sustaining his father’s farm while battling the longest drought in history. Pete’s story highlights the challenges of men’s mental health in the realities of a modern rural Australia. We are so delighted to have AIA Australia sponsor this episode as one of our key partners.

 

Also, as our "Olive" episode is attracting a lot of positive attention, we are hopeful for an AACTA Short Film nomination and voting has started! 

Momentum is building and we are moving soon to Episode 3.

GOVERNMENTS UPDATE

There is increasing pressure on the community as the states battle with their border closures. We can see that the current COVID situation is causing a lot of anxiety in the wider community, so our efforts with Government to partner closely goes on unabated to ensure we can work with both State & Federal Governments to bring our unique storytelling to more people to de-stigmatise mental health issues and people can seek support. 

 

We've been speaking with Minister Hunts office and are encouraged by their support of the project and are now advocating to the Prime Minister at the suggestion of many of our parliamentary friends who have very generously written to the Prime Minister on our behalf.
